Some call them terrorists... but terrorist groups are usually a little bigger than just five.
Some call them demons... but we aren't living in the middle ages.
Some call them government agents... but why would the government want itself to fall at the hands of just five people?
For now, it seems, we should just stick to what they told us.

We call them masters.

'The MoNARC Intelligence'- or, as it's full name goes, The Modular Networked Artificial Reason-Capable Intelligence, was a ten-year project by the monolithic tech firm PARATech as it was originally intended, with the aim of creating an advanced AI with the capability to 'rule' a technology-integrated Smart City. If the project were to be completed, then the city would have almost every public controlled by the AI: from the road maintenance to the city hospital- and, most controversially, the law enforcement. Unfortunately for PARATech, the government intervened before plans for the Smart City could be approved. They granted permission for the researchers to continue development on MoNARC, but refused to allow it to control a city full of civilians. Rumours began to spread about the government's involvement with MoNARC: why did they let development continue, even though they had refused most of the project? What could PARATech even do with MoNARC now that the city was destroyed? In the paranoid mind of the public, this seemed to lead to one thing: that MoNARC was going to be a weapon.

On the 23rd of June, 21XX, the government issued a military strike on the PARATech headquarters. Everyone in the building at the time of the attack died on that day, whether they were researchers, security, or even just a passing guest. The following morning, MoNARC went offline, and no external source was able to reach it. Despite the fatality of the massacre, most of the media coverage was oddly positive. You see, in the year leading up to the attack, paranoia about PARATech was growing. MoNARC's 'glitches' were becoming more frequent, and many people believed the firm to be an extremist organisation, bent on creating technological weapons of mass destruction either for the government or for themselves. It was assumed that this attack was the end of MoNARC...

...but that was not to be the case.

Seven Years Ago...

The Fifth: Crusader.
The Fourth: Doctor.
The Third: Red.
The Second: Void.
The First: Monarch.

Five individuals destroyed New America.

The Five, as they ask to be called, are a small group of five people with talents and enhancements that make them seem like gods compared to the everyday person. At first, they were assumed to be some sort of joke. Their leader, 'the First', hacked global networks to broadcast a message, claiming to be the presumed-dead MoNARC, which sparked public ridicule. MoNARC was gone, the people thought. It died in the massacre along with all the freaks who made it. Several parodies and humiliating news articles arose from the broadcast as the world simply laughed at these weird, edgy hackers... but the Five weren't laughing along.

In a span of months, several terrorist attacks were carried out across the country, resulting in the deaths of thousands. The attackers were unlike anything the police, or even the military, had seen before: no amount of firepower was able to stop them, and anyone who tried to suffered a painful death. They brought the country to its knees. Nobody felt safe, and nobody was safe. Their strikes were indiscriminate; airports, malls, and even hospitals were razed to the ground by the mysterious Five. The government tried to intervene, sending armed troops to the site of the attacks, but even this was not enough. It seemed as though nothing would ever be enough.

----

Today...

"You were warned, and you did not listen. Until you cave to our demands, your country will continue to suffer. I hope you understand that. If you will not listen to our demands, then maybe you will listen to your people's screams.".

New America is divided. There are some who follow the rule of the Five, and some who still follow the government... but, with the way things are going, it seemed as though these two groups may become one and the same. The Five are getting more aggressive, directly engaging with the government and demanding money, land, and political power in exchange for the lives of innocents. Things are getting desperate; it seems as though it's only a matter of time before they overthrow the government entirely and rule over New America alone. In the midst of this desperation, a small sector of the government came up with a drastic idea: to create super soldiers to combat the Five.

Of course, despite all the money poured into this research, they were unable to create soldiers that match or exceed the Five's level of power, but they seem to have come close. They sent out a call for volunteers of any background to become these soldiers, since the Five were used to fighting against military-trained individuals. With these new abilities and enhancements, these volunteers became almost supernaturally powerful, even if they weren't before. Now, this group of super soldiers, New America's last hope, are ready to be sent out on the most dangerous mission of their lives: to defeat the Five and shut down MoNARC.

It won't be easy.

Defeat 5 evil friends and save the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im gonna post a loooot about like. the super soldier project in a second, as well as the abilities and profiles of the five,. IF you have any questions then hmu because this may be poorly-written. this is an idea ive had for a while now and idk :) :)))

shut up i totally didnt make this to fucking test the new shit

PM me about plot points if ya want

Those Rules
- Don't be a dick.
- Please fill out the whole CS
- No godmodding/autohitting/absurdly OP characters blah blah blah. It must be actually possible for your character to lose a fight.
- Stick with what you've written. This means no adding extra weapons, abilities, or changing your CS after it has been accepted.
- Try to be specific with the abilities, like how they're cast and what exactly they do. I'm not asking for masses of detail, just enough to prevent any asspulls.
- (A basic rule is that each power/attack must be avoidable if it can do substantial damage.)
- Violence is fine, but no killing/permanent damage without consent.
- Cursing is fine, but don't go overboard.
- Romance is allowed, but not encouraged.
- If you have any questions, ask me. I have the tendency to not explain things well first try.
- Warning if you haven't joined one of my RPs before: I'm either really picky with CSs or really stupid. Just... try not to be vague or abuse loopholes... pwease...
- Put 'Dynamix hurts my soul why are there 3 input locations' somewhere on your CS because you have read these rules.
- Do a little dance...

Research for this project began about 4 years ago, but it only saw the light of day 2 years later. It was a risky operation, but details of the initial research has been buried, likely due to the high fatality rate of the old series and enhancements. When it came to putting its final stage into action and asking for volunteers, however, all of the kinks seemed to have been ironed out. In the current group of Super Soldiers, few (if any) of them have suffered severe side-effects.

Whilst the Five haven't responded to this project, it is believed that they know at least some information about it. It isn't yet clear how much they know, but it is assumed to not be much as they haven't taken action against the project or attacked any locations in which experiments are being carried out.

That being said, two researcher deaths have been attributed to the Five- one was a biochemist, and the other was a military strategist who was involved in the PARATech massacre. Both died of an unknown, non-contagious illness that killed them within a day of contracting the disease. No research has been carried out on this pathogen, and it is assumed within the research staff that the Fourth was responsible for infecting them.

The current Super Soldiers that are being sent out to fight the Five are:
shit will go here

The Fifth: 'Crusader'(Theme - Vindicator by Void)"I am the bringer of holy and righteous justice... for my queen, for my friends, and for my god."

Known Abilities:

Hard light manipulation

Highly durable armor

Gravity cannon

LARPing, like, all the time.

Most Infamous Incident: A massacre at a large church, leaving hundreds wounded and at least a dozen dead. He created a strong gravitational field in the church's cellar which caused the floor above to cave in, then proceeded to attack those who had fallen down the resulting hole using hard light constructs.

Info: Not a lot is known about the Fifth. He is generally quite a silent type, speaking only to spread the word of 'Neria', the god he worships. Some people claim that he was part of a cult before joining the Five, but no evidence of this cult has been found... aside from a report that several mangled corpses were found in a basement around the time a mysterious meeting was to be held. Whether these were the bodies of the cultists or some kind of human sacrifice is still unknown.

The Fifth believes he is purging the world of sin and spreading the will of Neria, though he often points to his 'queen' when asked for his motives. This queen, presumably, is the First.

__________________________________________

The Fourth: 'Doctor'(Theme - Neurotoxin by Sakuzyo)"The world is sick, and I am the cure. Think of this as a routine inoculation... against the plague of humanity."

Known Abilities:

Self-mutation

Perfect mimicry

Pathogen creation

Oh god is that a cleaver

Most Infamous Incident: Murdering a doctor at a hospital, using her blood to transform themself into a perfect clone, then using her position of trust to spread a deadly, incurable virus throughout the hospital.

Info: The Fourth is believed to be around 29 years old and is completely genderless, likely due to their ability to alter their DNA at will. This can be quite confusing for people who have never met them before... but, in all fairness, coming across the Fourth is more likely to cause fear than anything else. They are a cold and callous individual with seemingly no regard for human life, and are often very secretive about their motives. They don't seem to act in the same way as the other members of the Five, and it seems as though they kill more out of necessity than anything else. Still, this strange motivation doesn't make them any less cruel. They don't care who they kill, as long as they do it painfully.

They have an obsessive hatred towards a woman named 'Claudia', but haven't told anyone any details about this hatred. In all likelihood, they probably never will. Somewhat related to this is their closeness to the Third, who refers to them as 'Doctor Gravesend' instead of their number.

The Fourth, despite their relative number, is believed to be the most dangerous of the Five, due to their ability to create contagious, incurable diseases. Whatever is stopping them from creating a deadly, global pandemic is unknown; it might be a limitation in their ability, or it might be some sort of moral conscience....

Most Infamous Incident: Going out in a crowded street, stabbing a pedestrian, then using the blood drawn from her victim to kill another pedestrian... then using the blood drawn from that victim to kill even more pedestrians until the whole street was a mass of torn-up bodies and hardened blood.

Info: The Third is a child, standing at around 17 years of age. This doesn't change the fact that she's one of the most dangerous people on the planet, and it certainly doesn't change the fact that she's the most volatile and unpredictable member of the Five. She sees everything as a sort of game, and kills people more for fun than anything else. Unlike the other members, she doesn't seem to have a goal in mind. The Third is just a killer for killing's sake. The way she kills her victims is often exceptionally sadistic; making their blood harden and burst out of their skin like knives, slowly draining their blood, or just hacking off their limbs. She acts in a very childish way, and doesn't seem to be fully lucid at any time.

She sees the Fourth as a sort of parental figure, but doesn't share their hatred for this 'Claudia'. ...Or maybe she does. She can't remember. All she knows is murder.

__________________________________________

The Second: 'Void'(Theme - Absorv by Feryquitous)"It doesn't matter. We're all pretty insignificant, if you think about it. Does the death of a hundred people really matter in our infinite universe?"

Known Abilities:

Void creation

Teleportation

Temporary ability erasure

Too relaxed for his own good

Most Infamous Incident: Made a whole shopping mall just sink into the ground and disappear. That's it.

Info: The Second doesn't like being called 'the Second'; he prefers to go by the nickname 'Crow'. Crow doesn't seem outwardly malicious. In fact, of all the Five, he seems to be the most benign. He is very relaxed and laid-back, often to the point of laziness. Still, that's not to say he isn't a threat. Despite his indifference, Crow's abilities can be devastating when he wants them to be, and there have been very few who have survived an attack by him. He is a nihilist, and uses that philosophy as an excuse for his actions... and no, he doesn't really care whether it works as an excuse or not.

He is the closest to the First of all the Five, but addresses her as 'Monarch'. He also seems to know something about this 'Claudia', but his feelings towards her seem to be more neutral than the Fourth's. Of course. Like the Fifth, his age is anyone's guess, but he looks to be in his mid-thirties.
